Susegad IPA

Tap to rate

Susegad's hop-forward offering — citrus and tropical fruit over a firm bitter backbone. Even the IPA carries Goa's spirit: more approachable than aggressive, with a clean dry finish that invites another sip. Susegad IPA is the beach IPA: serious enough for the craft enthusiast, relaxed enough for a Goan evening.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
